We enjoyed our stay at Hans Retreat. We definitely will be back in the future. The location was close to everything in St. Augustine. We love Vilano Beach and why we choose to stay there. Rabbit is super friendly and welcoming to his guests and if you have any questions or concerns he is on location to help. Thanks again Rabbit! We will be back!

A great little place

The location is fantastic. our host Rabbit was very accommodating and informative. The fenced yard was great for my dog. Rabbit makes sure you have ice, bottled water, and basic necessities, he even has an herb garden out back and urges you to help yourself to mint, basil, cilantro, parsley, etc. I am definitely booking again.

Clean & Comfortable

Hans House was overall very clean & comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to see that bottled drinking water, a food processor & a good inventory of cleaning supplies were available. We chose this property for its fenced- in private backyard that was perfect for our two dogs. The traffic noise did take some getting used to but it wasn’t a big deal, as the neighborhood is very quiet & nice for long walks.

We had a great time. Rabbit is a wealth of knowledge, and he is happy to share the information with you. A couple of days we stayed outside in the yard all day with our dog. Bandit (yard is fenced in). We hope to return next year. Thank you, Rabbit for a wonderful vacation.

Great Value

This place is perfect for me, my husband, and our dog. Rabbit is a very thoughtful host and provides all the basics for your stay (though you might want to bring your favorite utensils from home if you're planning to cook all your meals as we did), and he's always available to chat and answer any questions. Right across A1A from the beach, the location can't be beat, and the beach is not-busy enough that we were always able to keep plenty of distance from other people. Plenty of food options nearby, though we didn't take full advantage of them this time as we are staying as socially distanced as possible from other people. This was our second visit and we hope to return soon!

Small and cozy cottage for a small and cozy town. Fenced in yard was exactly what we needed for our two dogs. Rabbit was on site and very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Across from the beach but only a two minute walk to be in the sand. We will be back!

Wonderful location, doggie friendly cottage feel

We have stayed twice at this location as it was perfect for our family. We love to cook healthy meals at home and our dog needs a fenced yard to play in. Hans Retreat fit the bill perfectly. It is across from the beach and a grocery store and liquor store is closeby. Our host, Rabbit, is awesome - he is a wealth of information.

No need to buy anything other than the food.Cleaning supplies,paper products and even bottled water was there.Rabbit keeps in contact to make sure you're happy and give suggestions what to visit . Location is great with the beach just across the street and St Augustine just over the bridge.Perfect for a solo or couple that don't want to spend money eating out constantly. The fenced yard(very nice) is a big plus for dog owners and the beach across the street is pet friendly.

Great location to the beach and fishing pier. We were able to bring our dogs, one of which isn’t too friendly, because it has a great fenced area. Very short drive to all of the Old Town attractions. The home has everything you could possibly need and the price was very reasonable.

great location, enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed staying here. We enjoyed walking the beach and neighborhood, as well as exploring the history of St. Augustine. The place had a somewhat rustic, "beach cottage" feel to it, and we enjoyed that. The owner was friendly and very helpful, supplying stuff we needed such as briquets for the BBQ and so on. We would definitely stay here again.
